A water splashing festival in Kowloon City to celebrate Songkran had to be suspended on Saturday afternoon, because of the threat of heavy rain.
A thunderstorm warning prompted organisers to put the “Water Splashing with Electronic Music” event on hold.
The splashing at Carpenter Road Park Basketball Courts is slated to take place on Sunday as well, weather permitting.
The festival is part of a campaign to enhance Hong Kong’s day and nighttime vibrancy across all 18 districts.
According to the event’s guidelines, organisers will suspend or cancel the event without prior notice during adverse weather conditions.
